Dow Up Nine-In-A-Row On Lowest Volume Day Of Year
The Dow managed its ninth green close in a row - its best in 16 years - and obviously closed at all-time new highs. The Trannies were the real winner though as they are now up over 4% in March (considerably outperforming the rest of the major indices), and up 29% since mid-November (a 120% annualized return) with no more than a 2.5% retracement in that period. Four stocks dominated TRAN today JB Hunt, Alaska Air, CH Robinson, and Ryder accounting for half the index's gains. Volume was its lowest of the year (ex President's Day). Average trade size was low. On the week, financials and energy are the underperformers. Treasury yields spiked on retail sales, dropped on the auction and go out very modestly higher on the day but not confirming the equity exuberance again. FX markets also pointed to a less sanguine view of the world as the USD rallied and EURJPY (carry) provided little support. VIX held up for most of the day but collapsed into the close back under 12%. Commodities gave back earlier (weaker USD) gains to close at the lows of the day.
The Dow versus Volume - all that matters...
as The Transports run away with it again...
and the S&P 500 remains in its tight uptrend (also with dismal volume)... it appears the trend is your friend - of course, until the market gaps down 5% and CNBC runs a 'panic' show...
Protection was relatively bid all day until the last few minutes when VIX was smashed back under 12% more in line with stocks...
Bang Dat VIX Close...
FX Markets swung notably longer the USD today starting at around 4amET - Italian auction...

and 2 big pomo days to end the month
Pink unicorns forever!
I once hit 12 points in a row on a craps table.
Yesterday I bought DIA puts, I sold them this morning at the lows (I managed to sell it at the lowest minute of the day - miracle), made a tiny amount. This market is utterly stupid.

Why only the Pink unicorns? You sound like a racist... If you know what's good for you, you would get the word out to... Impeach Obama Now!
What's the BFD? We hit record budget debt every day for years now....
Top that, DOW!

Spiked it hard in the last 5 minutes like yesterday.
I give Tyler credit for analyzing this whale shit market.
Dow up Debt up
Bernanke and his pack of smirking jackals are turning all markets into Trannys. They used to be hetero, now they take it wherever they can get it.
Seems healthy right....just let Trannys determine our business decisions and moral direction for us.
groundhog day bithchez!
Copy and paste day after day!
Only up five Dow points? I "Poped" for more...
So, pray tell, what is the deal with trannies? What is this outperformance telling us? Are carloadings and freighthauling and packaege delivery up significnantly recently, or not? Anyone know for sure?
just check the short interest on tranny stocks ...
Thank you.
I assume that means a short squeeze is a factor. But why all the shorts? Usually shorts are well informed. What do they see that the rest of the market doesn't, I wonder?
Bigger players squeeze the weak hand. Refer to Ackman vs. the Icannator. Ackman is right about Fleece-o-life, but if you squeeze hard enough, you can still win. Look at what happened to VW in the squeeze, and realize they do the reverse with gold and silver.
According CASS, YoY shipements on the freight side up 0.5% / expenditures lower by 1.0%. That follows a Jan that was -2.5% / -1.6%... so shippers clearly paying less and shipping less, though Feb was better than Jan. Port data only out for Jan, but a mixed bag with exports weaker than imports, but some ports doing well and others not so much. Today's retail #s, given the building materials / auto / and online data points would point to some higher car loadings, but they are seeing drags in intermodal / coal / and with the Mississippi back up, they will be losing some of that traffic back to the barge space.
Thank you, sir, excellent report!

My wife has a package from, either, FedEX or UPS I carry in each day as I return home. I suppose everyone is shopping online? Giving carriers a boost? Instaed of one huge delivery to a department store there is a thousand deliveries to different houses.
Short retail store fronts.
Internet shopping is where it is my friends.
Shop until your fingers drop!
I hope when I am as old and shitty as the DOW is that I can keep it up as long as it does.
A Festivus Miracle
Time to break out the aluminum pole and let's air some grievances.
Hey, a win's a win. Amiright or what!! Lets get some drinks boys.
Lumber futures climb to 8-year high GAS AT YEARLY HIGH...GOOD THING THERE'S NO INFLATION
And that's why the postal service is bust, no inflation. lol
Anyone saying there is no inflation is just a shill for the establishment and must not be trusted nor listened to.
Looks like a replay of the Zimbabwe market in 2007
Highest levels EVA....lowest participation EVA....how long can they really keep this clown show goin'?
They can keep this clown show goin' as long as the POMO be flowin'!
That seems to be the induced perception they want, but I'm definitely not buyin it!
(Reuters) - The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.
The proposed plan represents a major step by U.S. intelligence agencies to spot and track down terrorist networks and crime syndicates by bringing together financial databanks, criminal records and military intelligence. The plan, which legal experts say is permissible under U.S. law, is nonetheless likely to trigger intense criticism from privacy advocates.
I will repost this SHIT. Simply because I intend to inflame as many people as possible- with the intent that we can get to critical mass.
Good luck. You DO realize that "American Idol" is on, don't you?
and Dancing With the Retards is next -Mark Cuban and Donald Trump are paring up with a couple of Karedashians in a mudwrestiling polka contest --After that a new version of celebrity "Cheaters" is coming on. The film crew has caught an unnamed Academy award winning celebrity with another Kardashian. They are filiming her former laker NBA celebrity star going over to his Beverly Hills manision to demand that he sleep with his wife in lieu of getting his ass kicked. What a night!
This sounds treasonous, and IMO violates the letter and the spirit of the Constitution which leads me to say.... Impeach Obama Now...
Coming in with a back up link to this story:
U.S. to let spy agencies scour Americans' financeshttp://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-us-to-let-spy-agenci...
Little wonder no one has any money in America. Is is all off shore! Isn't that a threat to national security? They should be investigating how much of America's tax payer money is in off shore accounts, and not trying to track peoples gold purchases and private accounts for confiscation later.
Q: Would withdrawing everything from the bank one week, making a large deposit the next week, then repeating the whole process again create multiple "false positives" for the system?
Don't withdraw too much... anything more than $10 is a crime.
They probably just want to keep an eye on anyone who's fortune was wiped out taking the other side of Benny's money printing / rigged stock market casino bet. Of the group that are so inclined to jump out a window, they're probably worried about the small percentage that would opt instead to take some banksta niggas out with them. If you haven't already killed yourself your a prime terrorist threat and their on to you bitchezz
I guess priced in Monoply money, the market is still cheap.
Kevin Henry, he's our man, if he can't get it up, nobody can......goooooooo Kevin!
Broken market. Fed's will realize the damage done when volume is down another 50% and the "trust" of markets has completely evaporated.
They've killed the goose that lays the golden eggs long ago....now all they've done is tied threads to the wings of it's corpse and flapping it around.
CNBC Special Report: Markets in Termoil
Anchor - "How do you deal with a 0.5% pull back over the last month?"
Guest - "Buy the dip"
Anchor - "That's a brilliant strategy."
Guest - "Thank you. I worked very hard to come up with that strategy."
They need " Abby Normal" as the new host on CNBS!
what is the probability of dow up 10-in-a-row?
One has to wonder how this will effect the Dow Woolly Bully balloon?

I have a problem with using NYSE volume as a proxy, it seems that most stuff trades elsewhere. I prefer the delta-average-volume-at-time from Bloomberg since that captures all the various trading ratholes. Having said that, the trading today was indeed quite low.
As a comment, Europe was very slow today also.
I can’t get no satisfaction
I can’t get no short-sale action
But I try, and I try, and I try
And I try -- I can’t get no
When I’m drivin’ in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He’s tellin’ me more and more
That there’s no chance of inflation
And that Ben’s just saved the nation
I can’t get no, no-no-no
Hey hey hey
Hell, when it only takes $1000 to drive the market into the green on this low volume, why not?
Ben.
Snooze..The Heat are putting 19 on the line tonight. Lebron has been only just above mortal most of this run. Wade has woken up. The Birdman is...well...just plain weird.
Dow Jones up 9 days straight. Dow Jones hourly is fading.

Should be interesting tomorrow.
What did Patton say? "God forgive me but i do love it so"? for all you volume complainers out there (Bartiromo) have no doubt once this market corrects your wish will come true. In the meantime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PghRiGY999Y
Wow like 1998 only without all those new technology companies to confuse us.
